Ryan Poplar thought that one of his favorite destinations would be a fitting venue for his tenth birthday party. The food is great, there's lot to do, and the setting is "kind of fancy", the 4th grade student at Ivy Hall School in Buffalo Grove reported. The location is Sedgebrook senior living community in Lincolnshire, the new home of his grandmother Flo Schainis. "I helped her look at places to move to. When I saw Sedgebrook I thought it was really good. I could see her liking to live here," he said.

Flo had lived alone in a condo in Deerfield until early May. "It was pretty isolating. Here at Sedgebrook, the people are wonderfully friendly. The food is very good. It's easy living here," Flo said. "I'm busier here than I ever was when I lived at my condo. I play Bridge, go to exercise periodically and I do a lot of socializing. This has been a good move for me."

Flo's daughter/Ryan's mother Julie Poplar is delighted with her mother's move. "It's so much better for her to not be living alone anymore. It's so nice at Sedgebrook. It's well kept and everyone is nice. It seemed right away, like she'd fit in really well," said Julie who also likes the fact that Sedgebrook offers all levels of care should her mother's health needs change. "Having everything including memory care and rehab in one place was very important. I feel like she's safe and has made friends and been social and is not spending time alone in her apartment.""I like spending time with her at Sedgebrook," said Ryan. "They've got a swimming pool and pool table and the food is really good. We spend time in her apartment which is really nice." Ryan is looking forward to having some overnights with his grandmother.

Ryan ultimately held his birthday party at a more traditional kids' place, but has not lost his enthusiasm for Sedgebrook. "It seems more like a hotel. It's not fair that you have to be 62 or older to live here," he said.
